Endings and beginnings.
Pain and hope merged into a spectrum of light.
Fairies dance on the pond mirror.
We rest for a new dawn.
Now is all that we can trust, ha de Gött!

The Spell
Under the spell of winds
crashes the shore
in a wild dance
Ocean says
I'll grind your rocky shores
make them smooth to my touch
then we will settle down
a lullaby of sand
Förtrollningen (svensk version)
Under vindarnas förtrollning
kraschar mot stranden
i vild dans
lovar havet
jag slipar din karga kust
gör den mjuk inför mig
sedan smälter vi ihop
en vaggvisa av sand
Greatest of all is love, ha de Gött!
Water mirror
Today a reflecting walk in the woods.
Don’t be sad, hug a tree. Ha de Gött!
Dave
A hurricane named Dave came to visit this Easter Day with winds up to 38 m/s. It was a struggle to keep upright and even more to keep the camera steady.
Just as reference the red hill in the picture is 20 metres high.
In leeward is the place to be, ha de Gött!
Catch of the day
A crayfishing boat named Sara, comes in with todays catch to the harbour.
Seafood is healthy, ha de Gött!
Odd
I did not wish to be
but here I am
not alike
odd
Udda (Svensk version)
Det var inte min önskan
men här är jag
inte lika
udda
It’s a roll of the dice, ha de Gött!
Short and Sweet
Pause and repeat
just stay with the beat
before you get your story told
fading out, loosing it, getting old
not in rush, I just like it neat
has to be short and sweet
Kort och Gott (Swedish)
Stopp och start
i min knopp är det fart
långt före du berättat klart
för mig är det redan uppenbart
har inte brått, gillar bara lätt
kort och gott blir så rätt
Pause and listen, it’s the world. Ha de Gött!
Old mill
Nature slowly takes over the old mill.
Now is gone in a blink of an eye, ha de Gött!
Be Swedes
When I visit a museum, I spend more time looking at the building than the exhibitions. When you enter the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, you’ll see this statue of the king Gustav Vasa sitting in an impressive hall. The text on the pedestal reads in translation “Be Swedes“. To understand why this statement we need a short history lesson.
Gustav Vasa or Gustav I was king between 1523-1560. He became king after leading a rebellion against the Danish king Kristian II who was king over the Kalmar Union. The union was made up of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. While king Kristian II in Denmark is referred to as the hero king he is in Sweden called Kristian the tyrant. To strengthen the grip over the Swedes Kristian lured the leading members of the Swedish administration to a meeting in the central square of Stockholm and slayed over 100 opponents.
Gustav Vasa managed to flee and made his way to Mora to seek the support from the rich mine and forest nobility in the area. This is the historical background to one of the most famous long ski races, Vasa race (Vasaloppet). He got the support he needed and could be named king of Sweden 1523 and with that ended the Kalmar union that had lasted for almost 150 years.
Know the past to understand the present, ha de Gött!
